Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying medical fine salt, such as for halotherapy treatment. The invention further relates to a method for supplying a mixture of medical fine salt using such a device.

  Halotherapy is a natural remedy consisting of the administration and inhalation of medical sodium chloride that is atomized and diffused into a sealed environment, formulated for therapeutic purposes, for example in the treatment of bronchopulmonary pathologies and skin diseases. The term “medical fine salt” refers to sodium chloride suitable for medical use, finely divided into particles having a size of, for example, 1 to 100 micrometers.

  Halotherapy generally involves the use of a mixture of salts of different particle sizes, where particle size refers to the dimensional characteristics (such as average diameter) of medical salt particles (granular material) produced by the grinding process. ).

  An apparatus capable of supplying a certain amount of medical salt after atomization is known. These devices generally have a feed container into which the medical salt to be atomized is charged and the medical salt contained in the container, generally mechanically and continuously finely ground to produce a halo. And an atomizer (such as a propeller or a pair of rollers) that supplies it to an environment prepared for performing therapy treatment.

Applicants have found that current devices for supplying medical fine salts are not without drawbacks and can be improved in various ways.
That is, known devices cannot administer a mixture of medical fine salt having a predetermined particle size composition. For example, when a mixture of salts having a predetermined particle size composition (i.e. percentage distribution of different particle sizes) is added, known devices change the particle size composition due to grinding by the atomizer.

A further disadvantage of the known devices is that unwanted substances such as external particles, plastics, metals, paints, etc. are added to the medical salt during the atomization and / or diffusion of the medical salt so that the device processes the medical fine salt. It is that it is released to the environment.
A further disadvantage is that it is impossible or very difficult with known devices to meter the supplied medical salt with sufficient accuracy and / or to change such dosage.

  Applicants have also noticed how disadvantageous known devices suffer from the disadvantageous phenomenon of compression of medical salt inside the feeding container. This phenomenon is due to the small size of the medical salt particles, which can result in clogging of the device and / or make it difficult and / or impossible to supply medical salt with small dimensions. . An additional disadvantage of the known devices is that the feeding containers are frequently filled with medical salt for atomization.

  Applicants have also noticed how complex the known devices are characterized by complex structures and / or high implementation costs.

  In such a situation, it is an object of the present invention in various aspects and / or embodiments to provide an apparatus for providing a medical fine salt that can overcome one or more of the disadvantages described above. It is.

  This and more objects, if any, will become more apparent in the following description, in accordance with the following aspects and / or embodiments described in one or more of the claims and various combinations with the claims. In addition, it is substantially achieved by an apparatus and related method for supplying a medical fine salt. It is noted that each claim is considered alone (without an associated dependent claim) or in combination with other claims.

In one aspect, the present invention is configured to accommodate a certain amount of medical salt by providing a medical salt discharge port having an extending portion whose longitudinal direction is vertical and a cylindrical lower end portion. A container,
A screw inserted into the container and having an upper end and a lower end that is non-fixed at a position corresponding to the lower end;
A screw rotation member mechanically connected to the upper end of the screw for rotating the screw relative to the container;
The screw discharges the medical salt from the discharge port at the lower end in a controlled state and supports the medical salt at other locations on the lower end of the container, and sends the medical salt downward along the longitudinally extending portion through the rotation. A device for supplying a fine salt for medical use, comprising:
The apparatus includes a dispenser including a supply pipe and a blower member for generating an air flow in the supply pipe, and the dispenser discharges the medical salt directly into the air flow at the medical salt discharge port. Thus, the invention relates to a device for supplying medical salt characterized in that it is in communication with the supply pipe and the air flow is substantially horizontal at least at a position corresponding to the outlet.

  To the combination of the technical features described above, in particular, the presence of a screw that releases the medical salt in a controlled manner from the outlet and can support the medical salt elsewhere in the lower end of the container, and to the horizontal airflow With the configuration that the medical salt discharge port communicates with the supply pipe so as to directly release the medical salt, the fine salt contained in the container can be transferred to the treatment environment without further steps such as the atomization step. Can be supplied. In other words, in a horizontal airflow suitable for transporting medical salt from the supply tube to the outside of the device and releasing it to the treatment environment, the medical salt is passed directly from the container at a controlled dose through the screw from above. It is supplied to.

Further, for example, because the apparatus supplies the medical salt without using the atomization apparatus, the medical fine salt put into the container has its physical properties such as the particle size until it is supplied from the supply pipe. Applicants have demonstrated that the composition is retained.
In such a situation, the subject device of the present invention has a certain amount of medical treatment aimed at realizing a unique halotherapy treatment when already atomized, having unique features and evenly diffused into the environment. It is configured to supply salt for use.

  The above-mentioned technical features, in particular, the screw rotating member for rotating the screw relative to the container, the screw is directed downward through the rotation so that the medical salt is discharged in a controlled state from the discharge port of the lower end portion. A device capable of metering and dispensing the supplied medical salt with sufficient accuracy and / or changing such dose (mass concentration, etc.) with high versatility due to the configuration of delivering to It can be provided.

  In one aspect, the container has a substantially frustoconical upper portion that extends from the upper opening through which the medical salt is introduced into the container to the lower end, and the upper opening is larger than the diameter of the lower end. Also has a large diameter.

In one aspect, the screw has a first screw that has a first pitch and extends entirely within the upper portion of the container, and a second screw that has a second pitch and extends to the lower end of the screw below the first screw. The first and second screws are configured to rotate integrally, and the first pitch is greater than the second pitch.
Preferably, the second screw also extends partially into the upper part of the container.

The downward delivery of salt is maintained not only by the vertical orientation of the container, but also by the tapered shape of the upper part of the container that promotes the flow of salt along the inner surface of the container.

In one embodiment, the second screw has a constant diameter equal to the diameter of the cylindrical lower end portion of the container at least in a portion extending to a position corresponding to the lower end portion (preferably the entire extending portion). Thus, the second screw having a constant small diameter and pitch delivers the medical salt uniformly at the lower end to the salt outlet and accurately dispenses it. Overall, a screw consisting of two screws allows the delivery and metering of medical salt with an efficient controlled rotational speed .

In one embodiment, the first and / or second screw is in contact with the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the container and supports the medical salt. Thus, the screw supports the salt in the container at the same time as the medical salt is delivered, and the medical salt leaks between the screw and the inner wall of the container, for example, the medical discharge from the resulting discharge port. Avoid compressing with the second screw after an unintended downward spill of salt or leakage from the first screw. Thus, the medical salt is guided to the discharge port only by the delivery by the screw, and the supply is controlled.

Is possible.

  In one aspect, the apparatus includes at least a vibration suppression system disposed between the container and the rotating member. With this configuration, it is possible to avoid the vibration generated by the vibration member being transmitted to the rotation member by separating the vibration member from the rotation member. Vibration can be extremely detrimental (especially when repeated over a long period of time) because vibration can cause, for example, failure and damage to engine parts.
